Mary graduated from Riverton High School in Riverton, Illinois. She was a proud member of the Old House Society of Bloomington, Illinois, where she enjoyed sharing her appreciation for historic homes and preservation.

Mary dedicated many years of her professional life to the field of information technology. She built a respected career at the State of IL and later continued her service with State Farm. Throughout her career, she was known for her strong work ethic, reliability, and willingness to help others.

She also cherished horses and the beauty and spirit they represent. Above all, Mary held a special pride in the American flag, which symbolized the values she believed in and respected throughout her life.
